From Deer Park Monastery, a practice center in the tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh

This week we have the first half of a dharma talk given by Sister Kinh Nghiem at this year's Wake Up Retreat. She tells a light-hearted story about traveling with Thay and then shares the four mantras we can use in order to be truly present. She encourages us to use these mantras with the people in our lives, the animals and plants around us and with the earth.

Remember, you can always find the Deer Park Dharmacast at dpcast.net, on Facebook, Twitter, and iTunes. Now, enjoy this moment to stop and look deeply.
